Organising an Opinion Paragraph Reason 3: Kung fu teaches children how to protect themselves in the real world. Example 3: Children do not learn to fight but acquire important moves and motions that they can use to defend themselves if necessary.
Subject-verb agreement Ice dancing is a beautiful sport, but requires a number of sacrifices. For young dancers, most days are composed of skating, school and homework. Competitive dancers need to practice for five to six hours every day. Dancers usually skate early in the morning, so they always need to go to bed early. A dancer who does not get enough sleep will not perform well.
Subject-verb agreement In addition, ice dancing costs a lot of money. Dancers must pay for lessons, ice time and costumes, which can be thousands of dollars. This makes the sport very expensive. Ice dancing is also difficult on the body. If dancers do not skate carefully, they can get hurt. Many dancers get injuries from falling on the ice or repeating the same motions too many times.
Subject-verb agreement It is not easy being a competitive ice dancer, but the sacrifices are worth it to those who love this glamorous sport.
